Last month, WWE legend Hulk Hogan won a lawsuit against Gawker media company, known famously for the website Deadspin, and he was awarded a huge sum as a result. Hogan’s claim was that he was wronged by Gawker in their release of a video which included him having sex with the wife of his friend.
It was a bad situation all around but it might have gotten worse for the former wrestling star. Death and Taxes Mag recently nabbed audio of the rant from the Hulkster, 9 months after news of a second tape surfaced and almost a decade after Hogan actually made these statements to the woman in the videos, Heather Clem.
Since news of this issue has been released, Hogan has been removed by the WWE from their Hall of Fame, removed him from their YouTube channel, WWE 2k16 video game, WWE Network promos and removed him as a judge on USA’s Tough Enough.
Here’s the transcript of Hogan’s remarks made in the clip.
Hogan: I’m getting ready to cut some serious bait. [Inaudible] Brooke — my daughter, Brooke — [redacted], she jumped sides on me.
Heather Clem: Mmm-hmm.
Hogan: ‘Cause I shelled out two, three million bucks for her music, and [inaudible] I’ve done everything. Fucking with him day and night on the radio like a jackass, and he’s working with me to make…make work [inaudible] when [inaudible] really should call it a day and do the shit I did.
[Eight-second redaction]Hogan: The son, he’s [inaudible] this black billionaire guy, Cecile. He basically did more for her in a year than anybody’s done. [Inaudible], he had one song, and after 10 months it should go to [inaudible] and [inaudible] and [inaudible]. [Inaudible sentence]. I try to be the realist, and ‘This is your option: You got a better option. [Redacted] said you can sign with [redacted].’ He’s gonna put 500 million behind [inaudible]. Right now there’s nothing else. We’re doing the best we can.
Clem: Right.
Hogan: So it gets to the point where…I dunno if Brooke was fucking the black guy’s son, or they’ve been hanging out. I caught them holding hands together on the tour. They were getting close to kind of [inaudible] the fucking [inaudible]. I’m not a double standard type of guy. I’m a racist to a point, y’know, fucking niggers, but then, when it comes to nice people and [redacted]
Clem: We all are that way.
Hogan: Yeah, cool, when it comes to nice people, you gotta…you can’t, you can’t say the…
[Two-second redaction]Hogan: I don’t give a fuck if she [inaudible] [an eight foot tall?] basketball player.
Clem: [laughs]
Hogan: If we’re gonna fuck with niggers, let’s get a rich one!
Clem: [laughs]
Hogan: I don’t care if he’s a multi-billionaire. The thing is, now that you start doing these nasty emails…so somewhere, [inaudible] relationship, and now [inaudible] doesn’t want to talk to anybody, nanananana.”
